Homilies on Exodus, Homilia XI · §2

Water from the rock at Rephidim

The people thirsted at Rephidim; the struck rock yielded water — and the Rock was Christ. Murmuring’s insult is chastened.

Latin

Sitivit populus in Raphidim; percussa petra aqua fluxit. Petra autem erat Christus. Contumelia murmuris vapulat.
